Removing Large XML Files: As you mentioned, removing or temporarily relocating larger XML files in the Data/Platforms folder can help identify if any specific system is causing the issue.
Checking File Paths: Using Notepad++ to go through all the XML files and verify the file paths is a great idea. This can help ensure there are no broken links or incorrect paths that might be causing problems.
Drive Letters: Since you use multiple drives (H, I, J, K, L), make sure to update the paths accordingly if your setup uses different drive letters. Symlinking game paths to the Launchbox/Games folder is a good practice, but as you noted, some files might need to stay in the /Emulators folder.
